"Missed out in seeing Rachel Zegler doing her for-the-people balcony performance in Evita? No worries, because the star is returning to the West End in 2026, for a very limited run. And she's going to be joined by the triple-threat Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Ben Platt. The musical superstars are coming to the Big Smoke for a limited run of Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years, which tells the story of couple Cathy and Jamie from first meeting to their inevitable breakup"
"After premiering in 2001, The Last Five Years transferred to Off-Broadway in 2002, before being made into a film starring Anna Kendrick in 2014.
